What is required of company members?
Wildwood nurtures a consistent creative community. We value each dancer and look for ways to highlight their strengths and creativity, and offer opportunities for dancers to grow their creative resumes.

To be a member of the company, we ask that dancers attend a weekly dance class of their choice (to keep up technique), and be involved in at least two dance films each year, either as a dancer/performer, choreographer, film editor, cinematographer, or filming assistant.

Wildwood choreographs and films 3-4 dance films each year. We host 2-3 rehearsals during evenings when we near a filming project. Our filming dates usually coincide with a weekend, and require dancers and filming assistants to commit to a mutually agreed upon date and time frame.  4-6 hours of filming over a weekend is usual.

We are also holding auditions for our new YOUTH company.  Wildwood Apprentices audition is June 1, 2025. This will be an VIDEO audition only. Our Apprentices program will be offered to high school aged dancers who would like to be part of our company. Accepted dancers will then be invited to participate in any or all film projects we mount throughout the year. This is a great opportunity to get professional company experience and add it to your dance resume!

Following auditions, we will host a 2 week long summer intensive in late July for new Apprentices, where we will choreograph and film a new work on the young dancers for premier in late 2025.
